Joe Fox: This guy on Amsterdam who repairs zippers. You'll never have to buy new luggage.

Kathleen Kelly: Stop teasing.

Joe Fox: Timing is everything. He waited until you were primed. Until you knew there was no other man you could ever love.

Kathleen Kelly: Yes.

Joe Fox: Sometimes I wonder...

Kathleen Kelly: What?

[they stop]

Joe Fox: If I hadn't been FoxBooks and you hadn't been the Shop Around the Corner... and you and I had, just you know, met... Yeah. I would have asked for your phone number and I wouldn't have been able to wait 24 hours before calling and asking, "How about coffee, drinks, dinner, a movie, for as long as we both shall live?"

Kathleen Kelly: Joe.

Joe Fox: And you and I would have never been at war. And the only things we would've fought about would be what video to rent on Saturday night.

Kathleen Kelly: Well, who fights about that?

Joe Fox: Well, some people. Not us.

Kathleen Kelly: We would never.

Joe Fox: ...if only.

Kathleen Kelly: I should go.

Joe Fox: Well let me ask you something. How can you forgive this guy for standing you up and not forgive me for this tiny little thing like putting you out of business.

Joe Fox: Hey, you know what? We should announce ourselves to the neighborhood. Just let them know, here we come.

Kevin Jackson: Oh, no, this is the Upper West Side, man. We might as well tell 'em we're opening up a - a crack house. They're gonna hate us. Soon as they hear, they're gonna be lining up...

Joe Fox, Kevin Jackson: - to picket the big bad chain store...

Kevin Jackson: - that's out to destroy...

Joe Fox: - everything they hold dear.

Kevin Jackson: Yeah.

Joe Fox: Do you know what, we are gonna seduce them. We're gonna seduce them with our square footage, and our discounts, and ourdeep armchairs, and...

Joe Fox, Kevin Jackson: Our cappuccino.

Joe Fox: That's right. They're gonna hate us at the beginning, but...

Joe Fox, Kevin Jackson: - but we'll get 'em in the end.

Joe Fox: Do you know why?

Kevin Jackson: Why?

Joe Fox: Because we're going to sell them cheap books and legal addictive stimulants. In the meantime, we'll just put up a big sign: "Coming soon, a FoxBooks superstore and the end of civilization as you know it."

Joe Fox: The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, non-fat, etc. So people who don't know what the hell they're doing or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall. Decaf. Cappuccino.

Kathleen Kelly: Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life. Well, not small, but valuable. And sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So good night, dear void.
